Employment Legal Questions and Answers

Employment

Employment Offer

Texas

Asked on Dec 7, 2023

How to handle an unsatisfactory employment offer?

I recently received an employment offer from a company that I have been in talks with for several months. The offer is significantly lower than expected and does not include the benefits I was expecting. I am unsure of how to handle the situation and would like advice from a lawyer on how to proceed.

Garrett M.

Answered Jan 23, 2024

One important thing in negotiations like this is that you don't want to let your emotions take over, which will probably lead to you burning a bridge. Even if you were very disappointed in the initial offer, try to stay composed in your communications and just let them know that this is quite a bit below the offer that you were expecting. They will probably say that the offer is more than fair when taking into the market, your qualifications, etc., so it is important that you are prepared with a counter offer and some decent arguments to back up your counter offer. Maybe they mentioned in the hiring process or the job posting that benefits would be included? Maybe you have qualifications that put you above the average market employee in this position? Regardless, employers almost always have some room to move from an initial offer that they make to a prospective employee, so it rarely hurts to ask for a little more.

Dental Associate Contract

Texas

Asked on Jun 9, 2024

What are the key elements to consider when reviewing a dental associate contract?

I am a dentist who has been offered a dental associate position at a private practice, and I am seeking legal advice regarding the key elements I should be aware of when reviewing the dental associate contract. I want to ensure that the terms of the contract are fair and reasonable, and that they protect my rights and interests as an associate. Additionally, I would like to understand any potential implications or restrictions within the contract that may affect my future career opportunities or potential for growth within the dental industry.

Darryl S.

Answered Jun 18, 2024

There are many complex issues to review in a contract of this type and I've found that the employment agreements given to medical professionals are frequently very one-sided to the benefit of the employer with complex non-compete and non-solicit restrictions. The things that should be outlined include the job responsibilities, compensation (including bonus strux), benefits, and probably most importantly termination provisions that outline compensation for termination without cause and what constitutes cause. Lastly, I alway recommend a dispute resolution process that involves mediation and arbitration rather than the courts.

Arbitration Agreement

Texas

Asked on Jun 17, 2025

Is an arbitration agreement enforceable if I signed it without fully understanding its implications?

I recently signed an employment contract that included an arbitration agreement, but I did not fully comprehend the implications and consequences of such an agreement. I was not provided with sufficient time to review the contract or seek legal advice before signing. Now I am concerned about the enforceability of the arbitration agreement and whether I have any recourse to challenge it. Can you please advise me on the potential options I have in this situation?

Christopher N.

Answered Jun 20, 2025

The short answer is: likely yes. A contract is such that there has to be a "meeting of the minds" as to the terms of contract. Understanding that you were under some pressure from your employer to sign, there is likely a provision that says you read and comprehended the contract overcoming the argument that you did not understand. There are sometimes options to avoid the arbitration clauses, but they are state and contract specific. If the time comes when you think the arbitration clause is going to be trigger, speak with a local employment lawyer to figure out how to pull that trigger. Good luck.

Employee Contract

Texas

Asked on Jul 15, 2023

What are the worst states to hire 1099 independent contractors from because the state will likely classify as an employee?

I'm starting a 1099 remote-based staffing service and I want to stay away from hiring independent contractors with primary residency in states that are unfriendly toward their hiring. I don't want any misclassification issues so I want to stay away from those states altogether.

Merry K.

Answered Aug 13, 2023

I'm a Washington State attorney and my answer does not constitute legal advice, and no attorney/client relationship has been formed. If the person working for you will be working remotely from his or her state, the employment law of that state will govern whether the person will be considered an employee or indepedent contractor. Regardless of where that person works, what will be most important is how your contract with that person is written, and how much you try to control the person's work hours, duties, and so forth. Speaking generally, an independent contractor should be given certain work, and a dealine and expectations, and be allowed to work at 2:00 a.m. or 2:00 p.m. and report amount of time worked, such as 8/13/23 1.6 hours. If you have set times for work, such as 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, a court will be more likely to find that the person is an employee, not an independent contractor. If you will be using a person to work in another state, I highly recommend that you consult with an employment attorney in that state to review any paperwork you use, such as an employment contract or work contract with an independent contractor. You can find such attorneys through "lawyer referral" through the state bar association in most states, or you can try finding employment attorneys through this national organization: NELA.org Although the analysis of an employee's/independent contractor will vary from state to state, here are two articles from the US Department of Labor that may provide some general guidance to you. https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/flsa/misclassification and https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/fact-sheets/13-flsa-employment-relationship I hope that I have been of help. I am an employment attorney in Washington State, and can review documents for Washington State but generally do not do any document drafting.

Employee Separation Agreement

Texas

Asked on Jun 13, 2023

When to use an employee separation agreement?

I am an employer considering letting an employee go and am looking to understand when an employee separation agreement is necessary. I am unsure of the distinction between an employee separation agreement and other termination documents and want to ensure that I am following the proper protocol and protecting my business in the event of legal action.

Wendy C.

Answered Jul 18, 2023

Separation agreement is usually helpful when separating with an employee amicably and includes other terms that you want to ask of the other party and which you will also make promises. In other words, it is a two-way (or mutual) agreement. A termination letter is most likely a one-way communication, a notice that such employee is being terminated. You should talk to your preferred counsel to discuss facts in detail and make a determination which one will be the right approach.
